Mark,

I finally had a chance to try ECS Linux.

I got it up but can't connect to my Time Commander Plus. It complains:

10/17 06:58:24 Construct TCPlus Interface
10/17 06:58:24 TCPlus Interface: ERROR:tcsetattr err on COM1 (err
#5:Input/output error)
10/17 06:58:24 ERROR:TCPlus Interface: tcsetattr err on COM1 (err
#5:Input/output error)

I know the TC+ is on COM1. Is there something that I need to do to enable
the port or to set the speed. 

BTW, it is much easier to access ECS from Windows using IE. And it is much
faster than Mozilla on Linux.

Regards,
Rob Hicks

Here ya go:

To install:
         1) Login to Linux as root.

         2) Enter:
                 mkdir /ecs

         3) Download http://OmnipotenceSoftware.com/ecs_linux.zip to /ecs

         4) Enter:
                 cd /ecs
                 unzip ecs_linux
                 chmod +x *.bin
                 chmod +x *.sh
            Note: I'm not sure what you enter here to make these files 
executable
            by *all* users (vs root only).

         5) Copy your existing main.cfg to /ecs (if desired).

To run ecs, enter:
         ecs.bin

To access ecs via your browser (Mozilla and Firebird are the only ones I 
recommend for now):
         1) Enter "/ecs/ips.htm" at the URL prompt
                 (I would bookmark this link or make it your home page)
         2) Click the "127.../login" link
         3) Enter "owner" at the password prompt (leave name blank).

If you see only blank boxes where applets should be displayed:
         1) Install the SUN JRE:
 
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.jsp#self-extracting
         2) Register JAVA plugins with Mozilla:
                 http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/manual_install_linux.html
         Read CLOSELY and be VERY careful with these instructions !
         This is NOT point and click :-).
